St. Patrick's Day Mint Chocolate Marshmallow Ice Cream Pie

Is there anything better than mint chocolate chip ice cream? According to my kids...no. But I disagree. The only thing better than the ice cream itself is a mint chocolate chip ice cream pie with marshmallows, whipped cream, bits of Andes mints and an Oreo crust drizzled with chocolate sauce. Is your mouth watering yet?!!

This ice cream pie couldn't be easier to make. All you have to do is throw some ice cream, whipped cream and marshmallows in your mixer and whip them together.

Once it's blended, fold in some chunks of Andes mints (or you could get really crazy and add chunks of brownie or even Thin Mint cookies!). Mind blown.

Feel free to add a few drops of green food coloring if you want your pie to look a bit greener. Usually, I wouldn't add any coloring since Ryan tends to break out in hives if he has green food dye, but since he wasn't home and I planned on eating the entire pie myself, I added four drops...just enough to give it a bit more green tint for photos.

Pour the ice cream mixture in the Oreo cookie crust, top with more bits of Andes mints and freeze for at least an hour.

I highly recommend having a tiny toddler help you with dishes and cleanup. She loves to lick the spoon and beaters, just like her mama. Mint chocolate chip ice cream is her favorite!

Once your pie has refrozen and solidified, feel free to slice it up and dig in! I topped with Hershey's syrup because why not? The pie is delicious and decadent, yet still feels light and fluffy.
